DEERFIELD (Ill.) — The Super bowl is four weeks away, but you may need to find a substitute for your nachos and dip. Stores on the East Coast are reporting a shortage on Kraft Foods’ Velveeta cheese.

A spokesperson for Kraft says the company is experiencing a ‘short-term shortage’ in part because the cheese is so popular this time of year. No other reason for the shortage was cited, and there’s no word on how soon Velveeta will be back on shelves.
